2024-25 Traveling Fellow
Global Human Flourishing

During her Keegan Fellowship, Sydney will study human flourishing: “living in a state in which all aspects of a person’s life are good." However, what constitutes a good life is reliant on cultural contexts. Sydney will explore these nuances through interviewing civilians about their approaches and working with public service entities that contribute to the flourishing of their communities.
